re: Is LSU considered a CFB Blue Blood?

Blue Bloods is such a bullshite term when used for teams who have not won a championship in a loooong time. Pick a time frame, 1/4 century sounds good; if you haven't won an NC or been in an NC game in a 1/4 century you are not a blue blood, you are a has been. Championships, regular contention and sustained success are important.

So the only candidates with an NC or appearance in a quarter century are:
Alabama -yes
GA - maybe
LSU - strong maybe
Clemson - son quite, sustain it longer.
Ohio State - yes
Florida State - no
Notre Dame - yes, barely.
Auburn - no
Florida - no
Texas - maybe
USC - yes
Miami - hell no
Oklahoma - yes
TN - maybe, but they better win again soon
Michigan - yes, but almost a has been.
Nebraska - has been after a 25th year of suck.
